Fast D9v Services.

Inc annual udy OF humiliation, fasting
and prayer, was observed in this village
by a general suspension of business In
most OF the stores, for portion of the
day, and by religious services in the Con
gregationalist church in the evening at
7.l5 o'clock. There was fair attend
ance. The village pastors were all pres
ent except Mr.. Frost, who was unavoid-
ably absent The service consisted of
singing by the Congregation, under direc-
ton of Rev Mr.. Rsckliff; prayer by Rev.
Mr. Little; scripture reading by Rev Mr..
Poste; benedicition by Rev. Mr.. Little;
and sermon by Rev. Mr.. Harwood, an
abstract of which follows:
Text.-Mat. 9th chap, 36 verse. But
when he saw the multitude he was moved
with compassion for them.
The text suggests what We are to say.
The multitude was an ordinary crowd,
with bread to win as well as souls to save
Christ feels the same toward the crowd
to-day. Evil confronts society. We be-
lieve christianity may be pitted against all
evils, and In the end will be found to have
killed the roots, not merely the branches
What is the remedy? Man is dear
enough to God, for God to send his Son
to tell him SO and to die for him. Jesus
first taught the true humanity. The
brotherhood of man slips glibly over
mems lips as a phrase. but Christ taupht
1t and lived it. To him king AID slave
were brothers.
Brotherhood was based not upon crea-
ton, but upon relationship formed with
God. Each soul mastered by the vision
of the Fathers broodng love, becomes
the reciprocal of life, which eventually
will present to the universe the spectacle
of a new society, bound together by the
man, who near the sea of Galilee' not
only conyersed sweetly about the Father
God, but acted brotherhood, healed the
sick, and was ready to bestow divine mar
don for their sins. He believed that as
atoms in snow-balls or stone are bound
together by some force, SO men could be

This Fast day will serve its purpose if
we use il simpiy As a breathino.snell and
take a tirmer grip of the gospel. Chris
tianity has proved its mission. and now
what the world needs is nothing new. but
the old humanity of Christ in the lives of

Notwithstanding the very bad going
Wednesday afternoon the Skowhegan
Grange was well attended and lively
and profitable meeting held Five new
members were voted in and the second
degree conferred upon two. The worthy
lecturer and Bro. A. X. Smiley each read
very interesting Essays and the question
'what are the most profitable crops to
produce on our farms at the present time"
called out various and thoughtful remarks
from different members. The Essay by
Bro. Smiley is well worthy of extensive
reading and appears this week. Sister
Whittier's will be published in due time.

the town in the following: What's the

in Dexter, Newport, Plymouth, Detroit,
Troy, Burnham, Clinton, Fairfield, Ca

field is conveniently located for such
plan, and many of the towns named would
be much nearer the county seat and there

All things are possible, and the mills Of

TEMPERANCE.
Address by Miss Burnett at the
Nscth0dist Church.

Address by MISS ksurnett AT thc
Methodist Church.
The Fort Street M. f. Church was
comfortably filled last night by an
audience which had assembled there at
the invitation of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union. An able lee
ture was delivered by Miss Burnett on
''Woman's Work in the Temperance
Cause" She urged an unanimity Of
purpose as being necessary for sue
cessful issue of the work, and said
that if all the churches would com
bine together the cause of temperance
must inevitably triumph. She allud-
ed to the good work which was being
done all over the country. and spoke
specially of the crusade against Nor
monism in Utah, saying that the
Christian workers there were gaining
great victories in the cause they had
espOused.
AT the conclusion of her remarks it
was announced that there would be a
meeting of the w. c. T. U. on Friday
next, at 2:30 p. NJ, at the Trinity
Methodist Church, and all were in
vited to attend. An announcement
was then made that collection would
be taken up to defray incidental ex-
penses, for, as the speaker said, "the
water of life is free, but it takes money
to buy the pitchers to carry it in" and
this logical witticism evidently had
the desired effect as contributions were
generously poured forth when later on
the collectors handed round the offer
tory plates.
